| Notes |
| Joe Satriani - banjo, bass, guitar, harmonica, percussion, vocals Stuart Hamm - bass Bob Smith - percussion, drums, electric drums, programming Simon Phillips - drums Jeff Campitelli - percussion, drums, programming, electric drums John Cuniberti - percussion, sitar An hour-long disc filled with musical explorations and compositions that defy belief, Flying in a Blue Dream is unquestionably Satriani at his absolute best. Breaking his all-instrumental tradition for the first time, he croons on six of the disc's 18 tracks, including the weird "Strange"; and the bluesy, hard-rocking "Big Bad Moon"; and the driving "Can't Slow Down." Satriani's voice isn't extraordinary, but it fits extremely well with the music he creates, especially on the acoustic-tinged, uplifting "I Believe." It's his playing that's the really impressive thing here, though; his unique tone and complex song structures are enhanced by his signature playing style and the incredible array of effects and tricks he wrestles out of his instrument. The disc closes with the high-flying, misty piece "Into the Light," leaving behind a feeling of real wonder. Soaring, powerful and triumphant, this recording deserves a place in everyone's collection. -- Phil Carter |
